What intrigued me is that NPR reported this morning that he told EMS that he was on medications for his back. Didn't he have an addiction to prescription drugs awhile back? Hmmm...wonder if that's on the up and up?

[DrPhil]

I wish him well.

I don't care too much for Rush Limbaugh, but he's getting the best care possible at Queen's.

You might wanna get out of there, OTW...Hawaii sounds like a good target! It's like when Bush spoke from Barksdale on 9/11, everyone in Shreveport/Bossier wanted him to get the hell out of town! Last thing we wanted was attention on us!!

Oh no! Did his heart become too large from holiday love and generosity and explode?

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Hmm

I wish I actually cared, but I won't lie. I don't.
Especially now that there are rumors that it was all a publicity stunt anyway.

^^Yeah, because Rush Limbaugh really needs a stunt to gain publicity. Please.

Isn't most stuff Rush Limbaugh does a publicity stunt of sorts? Seriously.

Actually the story I read said it was done for the purpose of increasing the advertising for his show. Apparently he was not getting the amount of advertising that he thought was acceptable and so he pulled the stunt to get the numbers where he wanted them.

I can believe it. I have heard that he has lost some advertisers because of things he has done or said.

According to Rush Limbaugh, the health care reform that may be passed by Congress is socialism. Yet, it bears a striking resemblance to the universal healthcare system that just treated him in Hawaii that prompted his remark: "there is nothing wrong with the American health care system. I received no special treatment."

Yes, Rush. That's the point! American medicine is superb--for those who can get it. And, in Hawaii, no one gets special treatment, because everyone can get it.

[Er, by the way, just to help you out, Rush, a fair percentage of your listeners do not know Hawaii is part of the United States, so clarify that for them...otherwise, they will wonder about you]

By accepting socialist medical treatment in Hawaii, therefore, Rush Limbaugh has shown that, when one is ill, what matters is the availability of quality health care, even if it is socialist.

Rush follows a long litany of conservatives, such as all Members of Congress that have a medical office paid for by taxpayers available in the Capitol, by Dick Cheney who had socialist pacemakers implanted paid for by the government, and George W who had a government-paid socialist colonoscopy while in office. Members of Congress over 65 get single-payer socialist medical care from Medicare.

Hawaii has had nearly-universal employer-mandated health insurance since 1974. Although its Pacific Island location makes the costs of everything--from gasoline to milk to ice cream to housing--the highest in the nation, health care premiums in Hawaii, for comprehensive care with small co-pays and deductibles, are nearly the lowest and their costs per medicare beneficiary are the lowest in the nation.

I'm confused by this whole Healthcare debate because from where I stand, I've seen people on the system get healthcare, while I got NOTHING as a college student in graduate school. Is this to help us push through for healthcare for people like ME in grad school/ law school or is it to give more HANDOUTS to the same people know how to play the system. Please explain. I'm not being sarcastic-I'm being honest. I really don't know.


So sad (about Americans not knowing about Hawaii)...yet, so true. My boyfriend's brother once told me that those damn Puerto Ricans (which I am) need to go back to their own damn country. I asked him where Puerto Ricans come from and he gave me a blank look as he replied, "I don't know-Mexico." Wow-Just WOW!!!
